I've been to a lot of places for Chili Rellenos, and Tico's, by far, has the best! They may not be traditional, but they taste MUCH better than any other place I've tried. It's very affordable and the service was great as well. Definitely a recommendation from me! more

I had the Chile Rellenos. This was the strangest CR I have ever seen. I have never seen a CR made this way. They took a chile and wrapped it in a flour tortilla and then deep fried it and covered it with cheese. I have never heard of such a lazy tasteless CR in my life. The chips were... more

This is by far the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been too. We ordered appr. $40 in food to go and they charged us for chips and Salsa.

I haven't lived in Lincoln for 20 years but everytime I get back there the first place I go to eat out is Ticos. The food is consistent and I know it will always be delicious. In my rating review Ticos sets the standard by which all other Mexican restaurants are judged. more

A friend and I just ate there and the food was terrible. We would compare it to something that came out of a can or box. My friend just threw up and I'm considering it. We do not eat fast food but I think we would have rather are at Taco Bell. At least we know we're going to be... more

Unimpressed. It was by no means poor, but it wasn't good either. I know it's a Lincoln fave, but it's really not mexican food. Go to La Mexicana instead. more
